The comparisons in Australia have been somewhat 'subtle' in comparison to the US and UK.
I saw this clip several times during the coverage of the wedding and I know I saw a smirk on Prince Charles' face. To me he was very obviously being tongue-in-cheek about the engagement. I think he gets along very well with his now daughter-in-law and was probably very happy and most likely aided and abetted her with all the planning of the specific flowers and trees they used for the wedding.
I admire the man a great deal, and would like to see more of his actual sense of humor (or of his personality), but I guess he keeps that for his family and friends.
Yes, in his speech he called her the daughter he never had so I agree with you Osipi- he's not the most outwardly public emotional figure but believe him to be thrilled with his sons and new daughter in law
I actually thought that he was quite emotional, but trying to hide it. When the bridal couple were in the carriage preparing to leave, there were two photos of him, one looking at William in the carriage and one looking, it appears at the back of the carriage. IMHO, he was quite emotional and trying to contain himself. (Website, Zimbio).
This is a man that music moves to tears, and by the way, the music of the wedding was outstanding, thanks to the Prince of Wales.
flatter her figure, which is rather nice
Yes Camilla has an ample bust but I also wonder how much the family history of osteoporosis comes into play.Nice? That's the first time I've ever known someone to refer to her figure as 'nice'
Imo, the Duchess has one of the worst shapes to dress. She dresses most unflattering when it comes to evening wear on the whole, and unfortunately for her her posture is dreadful and her neck appears hunched which often makes it look as though she's got an invisible weight on her forehead which is tipping her over (which I personally think has something to do with her chest. She appears quite top heavy).
My opinion hasn't changed since their wedding. My opinion can't change, since it is based on the fact that they should have got married, many years ago, when they were both still free to do so. They didn't, and then both ended up committing adultery with each other, causing misery for others, after Charles married a girl he had no business marrying. Charles and Camilla may very well be soul-mates, but their love and cheating caused untold harm.

I believe they would have married way back when. However, HM would not consent. If there has to be any blame for the course of that history, it has to be squarely placed on the shoulders of the traditions of the time and HM.

I dont like Camilla now,or ever,and she and charles should have done the decent thing and moved to another country,as his great uncle did,and i believe that if Camilla ever becomes queen ,the monarchy will be to weakened to survive,and for charles to ever become head of the Church of England is an outrage.
Loose morals are nothing to be proud of .
Charles and Camilla did the decent thing by admitting their love to the world and marrying for the whole nation to see. Looks like most of the nation have accepted Camilla, seems like you haven't.
Big difference between the moral situation in 1936 than that of the situation in 2005. Loose morals how so?
You seem to have a very narrow minded opinion of marriage and love IMO. Should Charles have stayed with Diana to keep his morals intact? Or should he never have fallend in love with another woman? Is there a problem with love? You cannot help who you love. Charles and Camilla did the decent thing by admitting their love to the world and marrying for the whole nation to see. Looks like most of the nation have accepted Camilla, seems like you haven't.
Also, I believe that if things had been different and Diana could have accepted the fact that Camilla was a friend and Camilla's marriage to APB was a strong one, we'd still be seeing Camilla and Charles as great friends. It just didn't happen that way. They're together now and very well suited to each other and most importantly, happy.
